performance tested
Our sustainability agenda is underpinned by data collection.
We began with our Green Future House, Northern Ireland’s first ever Government accredited (Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6) zero carbon home, where over a 12 month period, we commissioned Ulster University to undertake a programme of performance testing and monitoring.
The results speak for themselves
"The Green Future House provides for approximately a 77 per cent improvement in thermal performance compared to a traditional house built to the minimum building regulations mandatory requirements".

Quality Workmanship but don’t take our word for it
"This infra-red image (above) illustrates the infra-red thermography plots which are used to display surface temperature variations that provide information about the underlying structure.
The continuity of insulation across the walls and fabric of the ICF construction is apparent and this contributes to minimal energy leakage.
The bridge and joins between ICF fabric and windows is also well maintained. This would indicate a high degree of insulation and good workmanship particularly in these areas.
The windows appear to show low levels of energy leakage and this contributes to minimal losses."
